Pet Essence
Bring your dear, deceased pets back to life.
About this Mod
Ever lost your pet to some random mob, fire, an explosion or lava? While you would still lose them in such cases, you'll have the option to resurrect your pets and bring them back, good as new! (Just make sure you don't get them near cactuses).
When a named and tamed pet (currently includes cats, dogs, parrots and horses) gets killed (by external sources not related to their owner), they will drop their spirit. Using that spirit and some endgame materials, you can bring the pet back to life.
To make a Totem of Persistence, you'll need to use one netherite upgrade smithing template, one netherite ingot and one totem of undying in a smithing table. The only thing you can do with a Totem of Persistence is combine it with another netherite smithing template and a Spirit to get a Persistent Spirit. If you click on the ground while holding the Persistent Spirit, your pet will be spawned back!

Server lagging with Pet Essence – how to optimize performance?
Recommended RAM: 4 GB (per 8 players). Use /spark profiler to check if Pet Essence consumes the most tick time.
